the developer larsen has a lot of bad rep for practises I can't really mention, and there is a big history of stolen code and sabotage (like them flooding disconnect24's servers and blocking them from wii.guide, forcing the shutdown)
Well, I kind of understand why Larsen would do that. He has ADHD, autism, and OCD he said in one of the RC24 videos. Plus, he probs doesn't know how to code too much. Riiconnect24 was made with people's help. When he was probs by himself, he probs only stole the code from Wiilink because he didn't know what to do. Now I am not trying to defend Larsen or stuff like that I'm just telling you some things mentioned in his “I cut back on Riiconnect24 video.” I am also trying to mention a little bit of what I think is happening.
that doesn't include sabotage and harassment in the rc24 [platform I can't mention] server
Well, I don't know that seems to be more of the moderator's problem

I feel oddly irritated hearing you attempt to boycott software just because the developer used someone else's code (sharing is caring) and blocked someone from their site (which is completely within their rights).

ADHD, Autism, and OCD are not valid excuses for doing something bad or getting a better experience than other people. Sadly, many governments, schools, and companies ignore that and give people with extra neurodiversity better work conditions than those who are more neurotypical.

But tbh it just kind of looks like Larsen is kind of making excuses in some of his videos.

Yeah, you shouldn't boycott the entire service just because one person has done something bad. All you would have to do is remove their name and forget the name. If Larsen wanted to step down to work on himself, he would just have to give the server info and teach how to operate the servers to someone he trusts (possibly KcrPL).

I have a really basic question that I can't find an answer to elsewhere.

I'm trying to get Project M Ex Remix for Wii. So far, I have successfully added the Homebrew Channel to the Wii.

I have also downloaded the Project M Ex Remix .rar file for Wii. The file is about 4.88 GB.

I will be transferring that file to a 32 GB SDHC card formatted to fat32 with a 32 kb allocation, for use in the Wii.

The trouble is, fat32 can't do transfers of files greater than 4 GB.

So my question is, how do I get the Project M Ex Remix .rar file onto the SD card since it exceeds the 4 GB limit for transferring files to fat32?

Larsen is… interesting. I don't want to discount his work on RC24- he may not have the strongest moral compass and have made some bad choices but that does not mean “all of rc24 is stolen” and mean we need to instantly boycott RC24.
Also disconnect24 never went anywhere anyway I don't feel too bad about what happened to it

hmm i shouldn't boycott the entire service? its literally just larsen and kcrpl, and kcrpl only works on wii.guide and (i think) the patcher

it doesn't excuse larsen abusing a vulnerability to fill the servers with fake wiimail addresses, plus the current mail server used by riiconnect was almost completely written by disconnect (the credits literally state “Thanks to Disconnect24 contributors that wrote the code”, yet riiconnect didn't fork it, which would show credit immediately, they instead manually copied everything over)

also you have almost no reason to use riiconnect, heres the current compatibility chart for both services:

its just if you really care about news and CMOC

Try both riiconnect and wiilink at the same time.

I didn't really care about disconnect24 anyway. Honestly, I feel annoyed that you're bringing this up anyway! Just forget about it! Even if it is still ongoing just ignore it.

What model Wii do you have? If you have a Wii Mini or Wii Model RVL-101 you absolutely need Priiloader or you're going to get yourself into a brick.

guys, Im leaving the Wii modding and homebrew topic for a while. I found a new community on *the site I cannot mention*
!!! ATTENTION! STOP USING WII MOD LITE! THERE IS A MUCH SAFER WAD MANAGER! !!!

It's called “YAWM (Yet Another WAD Manager) ModMii edition”, or “YAWMME” for short. It has checks in place to prevent banner bricks.
I advise that everyone stop using Wii Mod Lite and switch to YAWMME.

I saw the drama… Yeah, basically do not use WiiModLite because it is some what illegal because it broke the GPL license.

because new scratchers can post? there's no restriction on it (apart from no links or images)
Do virtual SD cards conflict with real, physical ones? A couple years back I used a tutorial to install homebrew on Dolphin Emulator, by some “Banana Gaming” guy on yt…

Yup. I found that out the hard way. That's gonna be hard when I launch my business on New Year's. I'm literally pitching an idea of a company that charges 10 dollars to Mod people's Wiis with WADs and Discontinued Services like Forecast Channel. 12 Dollars for RiiConnect24 DNS Connection. 5 dollars for Modding with essential apps only. 7 dollars with WADs.

Modding your Wii is completely FREE and always will be. This business you're trying to launch defeats the purpose of that.

Two things:
1. How would you actually make money doing it? That's not worth it for you at that price.
2. Please don't sell Homebrew. I know it's not illegal but it feels fishy.

it's probably where you just send away your wii for people who don't want to risk it, but yeah thats fishy ah, especially on a console that doesn't need any hardmod.

also please don't use rc24, don't support their service. use wiilink please, or if you REALLY want to, just use rc24 for news channel and CMOC.

also in terms of business, anybody who does any actual research will think “huh this doesn't look so bad, at least if my wii gets bricked, which is a low chance, it is my fault and i dont have to chase anyone down”.
plus, what do you do if it gets unrecoverably bricked? buy em a new one?

RiiConnect24 is one of the most reliable WiiConnect24 services out there, so it's what most people use.
